Oud Wood

Honestly, I thought this was a very heavy oud perfume, but I was surprised. It opens with woody, spicy notes, then in the next phase the spice fades and a tobacco-like smell comes in its place. There is no tobacco in the notes, but around the middle of the perfume's life I smell tobacco from it. Then that tobacco pulls back too, and in the end the perfume turns woody and aromatic. Honestly I liked every phase, but I can say I liked the middle phase and the dry down the most, and I think its general reception is good too. Performance-wise there is a batch issue, so if you can, buy an older batch.
